Around SBN: Are The Orioles Bad Or Unlucky With Their Young Pitching?

Happy birthday, Wandy Rodriguez

Happy birthday to Wandy Rodriguez, who turns 31 years old today.

I bet you thought he was about 5 years younger than that.

And if Bethany and I have another child, I'm going to name him or her -- doesn't matter which -- "Wandy."

Adam would trade his own child,

I'd go with Enos Cabell.

Not enough Enos’ out there anymore.

Aaron Fitt on Engel Beltre

Here.

The Red Sox signed Beltre for $600,000 in 2006 and traded him to Texas along with Kason Gabbard and David Murphy for Eric Gagne at the 2007 trade deadline. Beltre led the Midwest League in runs (87) and hits (160) in 2008, but he hit .227/.281/.317 as a 19-year-old in high Class A last year. He’s a premium athlete with the most exciting all-around tools package in the system, but his bat is a question mark. Beltre has yet to unlock the raw power potential in his wiry frame, partly because he’s a free swinger who struggles to make consistent contact. The Rangers instructed him to focus on seeing more pitches in 2009, and the adjustment seemed to help, but every time he experienced success he would revert to hacking away early in counts. Beltre’s above-average speed makes him a basestealing threat and translates into good range in center field, where he plays shallow and has the ability to track down balls over his head. He has a strong, accurate arm and good instincts, and he could be an elite defender as he matures. Beltre is a high-energy player who wants to be great, and he needs to do a better job slowing the game down. Still, he has progressed further than most players his age and has plenty of time to develop into the five-tool star he shows glimpses of now and then. Beltre will return to Bakersfield to start 2010.

I would have guessed older

it seems like I’ve been hearing about Wandy Rodriguez for 15 years.

Go Rice Owls!

Wandy is a terrible name

Sounds like some gnome from a harry potter movie or something.

I can see the future

And it has Bethany doubling up on every kind of birth control she can get her hands on~

Been on the bandwagon for 35 years... when do we get our parade?

I can't...

hear or see the name Bethany without thinking of the Aunt Bethany in National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.
